Changed my name recently and have genuinely been loving it,
Realised I was trans around 2 years ago and came out to my friends a couple of months ago, for a while my friends and I have been brainstorming a name that is more suited to me and how I feel, and after a while we came up with the name 'Faye'
(Don't worry, I know it's pretentious, lol)
Though some of my friends have slipped up a couple of times and people who I haven't come out to still deadname me, which I can't blame, it's been feeling really amazing,
When people do get it right, it fills me with a weird sense of joy, and I kind of feel giddy all over, plus it feels comfortable and I feel like I react to it the same way I react to my deadname, as if I've always been called it,
I don't hate my deadname per se, so i tried to name myself something that is along the lines of my previous name, yet still being its own thing,
What do you think of the name 'Faye'?
